@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial I think @jidesanwoolu needs to urgently restructure the Ministry of Physical/Urban Planning. They seem overwhelmed and lack capacity. How do whole estates and markets get fully built before anyone realizes they’re illegal? That’s a system failure.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial What were these agencies doing while the structures were being built to this level? They should also be penalized, not just the developers!

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Commendable move by the Lagos State Government in upholding building regulations and prioritizing public safety. This is the kind of firm action needed to ensure a safer, more organized, and sustainable city.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial This is commendable. Please bring everything down. If you must live and do business in Lagos, learn how to follow set rules and regulations.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial As simple as ABC

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial How can they build on something they don't own? I commend the Lagos State government for doing the needful.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial The funny thing is some people will think the buildings only belong to Ibo people and that's a very lazy and foolish way to think😌

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial They left their SouthEast undeveloped, came to Lagos to build markets. SE WEREY NI YIN NII?.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Lagos State Government going hard on the structures blocking drainage is a commendable effort. Continuous enforcement should be on the table 🙏🏾

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Taking this down without arresting the person who approved this structure is merely witch-hunting targeting specific individuals from a particular region Where were the authority and all these agencies on ground today when the building was at the foundation level.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial I’m sure most of these properties belong to Igbo men who are deaf. Stop building in Lagos. They will give approval and still be the ones to demolish it

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial It won't be long, another cosmopolitan will emerge that's not focused on witch-hunt or double standard and hypocrisy like Lagos state have shown for years, AND PEOPLE WILL QUIETLY MOVE AWAY from this stupidity I just pray the next govt in Lagos is more wicked than this one

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Properly planned cities attract growth, investment, and improve quality of life. Kudos to all agencies involved!

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial There's flood all over Lagos Island, Lekki, Ikoyi, the government is not active to clear drainage and take down but it's Ojo that I didn't see one video of flooding; that's where the activity is strong to clear and take down okay ooo

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial My question is, how did they "illegally" build big buildings like these, and yet, they were not stopped before they reached this point? Who in the ministry also gave them some approvals they had? Will the person(s) be questioned and face the law? Illegality is wrong.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Kudos to Lagos State for taking decisive action to enforce building laws and protect public safety. A necessary step towards a safer, orderly and sustainable city.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Ewo gbogbo danu!

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Igbos go cry tire. You wail online, we action offline. I’m glad to be a part of the demolition team. Tearing down those illegal buildings was a thing of beauty. Go build anyhow in your Igbo land. This is Lagos and we follow due process here. We’re not animals.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Ekun egbere go soon begin.. Dem go begin crying like vuvuzela now

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Reactive in my opinion. These things ought to have been done before now. We take it up any time there's flood and stop again after many pleas. We need to be more proactive in handling these things.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial I ask again, where was this agency when the building was being erected.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Nigerians are strong. How can you spend this much amount of money yet no government approval

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial How does the buildings in the trade fair complex affecting the Lekki flood, when the complex itself has a master plan? This is pure wickedness nothing more, they'd use any slight opportunity to push this bigotry targeting other tribes. There's life after Pablo BAT.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Was the government asleep when these alleged "illegal" buildings were springing up? As good faith, government must fish out and discipline officials that approved these buildings @Mr_JAGs

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Where were the Lagos State town planners or task force when they were laying the foundations? Why leaving them up to this stage before demolishing? 🤦🏽

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Na Lekki flood carry go away. Na Ojo dem dey demolish. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Once the right land documentation is available as attested to, the owners of the properties will sue LASG. LASG cannot give approvals and wake up to demolish without proper compensation; except otherwise. Was this the cause of the flooding in Lagos recently?

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Come back home to the east Lend your voices so the Asaba sea port can be functional Establish business in the east and help build your home An Igbo man is never loved in the west or north

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Shouldn’t this effort start around the areas where we have coastal impact like VI and Lekki axis?? They are the ones experiencing the major effect of this flash flood. Why start at Trade Fair or is it what am thinking?

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Who gave approval for the buildings? Why demolish them?? What’s the punishment for who gave the approvals??? This is sick

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Oga o. Such effrontery they have to put up such illegal structures. What is wrong with our people gan ni?

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial My question ❓ still remains,are these the flooded areas...I dey wait for una answers.

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial A good one

@gboyegaakosile @gbenga_omo @LasbcaA @egislagos @BenHundeyin @TheNationNews @thecableng @lshaofficial Lagos state will be their own downfall, how do allow buildings go up to this extent and then tear it down ?
